SABC2 has suddenly dumped Dr. Phil on weekdays at 12:00 without a word to anyone, replacing the American talk show currently in its 10th season with another episode of Judge Mathis, resulting in a double block of Judge Mathis episodes on afternoons on SABC2.
SABC2 suddenly yanked Dr. Phil on Thursday and this week is continuing the double episodes of Judge Mathis without any explanation, advisory, or warning to viewers or to TV critics and the press.
At 12:56, well into the second episode of Judge Mathis on Monday, SABC2 is now running an on-air blue notification scroll: "We apologise for not transmitting Dr. Phil as scheduled today. SABC2 will keep you informed regarding the future broadcasting times of Dr. Phil, please stay tuned,"
